What about screening for vaginal cancer?

Yes!: Your doctor will help you identify possible risk factors for vaginal cancer. (see my other answer for vaginal/vulvar cancer risk factors.) regular gyn examinations with pap smears as recommended are the best ways we know to screen for vaginal cancer.

Vaginal cancer..: And vulavar ancers are generally diseases of older women, but sexually active women are advised to have annual pap, and the vagina and vulva are insepcted then. Some vulvar cancers may be hpv related. Young girls and women need gardisil.

Pap smear: The pap smear screens for the same changes in the vagina or cervix. When a doctor performs a pap smear for an abnormal pap smear they look in the vagina as well as on the cervix.
